The Fatboy is an E-4 (59'). Same year as yours!
Yes we do have to have our stands!Ahh 1959 a good year for Fatboy's! Your's was made in the 4th quarter I see, very nice.
Well, I couldn't hold back the pressure, I had to release it by buying this. So forget what I said in my last post, its now been made irrelevant. And yet another item that won't get here until later September. But, at least once it does get here, I will feel like my shave den will be boosted.

What can I say, you and I gotta have our stands!
First shave with this Super Speed tonight.A (new to me) undated Super Speed arrived today!
Excellent condition!
I've already put it through an Ultrasonic/Dawn bath.
It will be up for tonight's shave:
My rack arrived today. The quality is a joke but it did cost me like $12.I ordered one of these today from "A popular auction site" for $12.99!
Seems like a nice wooden option that's 2 tier which will save space on my vanity.
This should finally give me some organization for displaying my most used razors:
You are probably going to need at least a two rack solution. One for somewhere out of sight, one for display. And a small one for the one in use.My rack arrived today. The quality is a joke but it did cost me like $12.
Feels like unfinished balsa wood!
(Look at the notches on the left. They glued it without clamping it together, LOL!!)
It'll do for now! At least I'm closer to fully organizing my stuff.
I'll get a nice one later on!
Yes!
First shave with the black tip last night!My new Black tip Super Speed has arrived!
I had no idea of the year because the seller put no details. All I had to go by were the pictures and hope.
It arrived dirty so I put it in the ultrasonic cleaner and brushed it.
When I was done, I discovered the most pristine vintage razor that I own.
Pictures do it no justice!
It's absolutely mint as if it lay dormant it's whole life. I also discovered that it was made in 1952.
The best one yet on my low cost search.
$15 shipped for this baby!
There are two different versions of the Black Tip. They were made in 1951-52. Some have an aluminum handle and others have a brass handle (like yours). The Aluminum handled version (below left) weighs 39 g while the brass handled one (below right) weighs 46 g. They shave great like pretty much all Super Speeds. You are definitely progressing down the rabbit hole. I would say I'll see you at the bottom, but I still seem to be going deeper, so you have some catching up to doMy new Black tip Super Speed has arrived!

. Really nice disposal service you are providing for many sellers!Another Red Tip on it's way!
I already have a 58' but this one is a 55'.
I didn't want to buy any other razor for a while but I offered $19 for the heck of it and they actually accepted. Seems to be in pretty nice shape so I believe it was a great deal at that price. I'm sure this one will clean up real nice:
I'm happy to offer that serviceReally nice disposal service you are providing for many sellers!
Well, that ended up being a helluva deal!My new Black tip Super Speed has arrived!
